News: Jerry Jones' QB plan starts with 4-5 year plan for Tony Romo

[LittleD]

Better watch talking about unbiased common sense...

You're right...I must have lost my head for a minute. Oh well, back to my Prozac.

 

[LittleD]

If Goff is available at #4 and we don't pick him, we will completely regret it.

Get ready for some regret then!

 

[Stash]

Maybe there will be 4 or maybe just 1...what I meant was who knows right now.

All the more reason to act while you're in position to.

If you don't expect any of them to be another Luck, why not just buy an experienced QB from the Pats and be done with it.

More speculation on your part. There's no clear indication that New England has any interest in parting with him, but in your desperation to not draft somebody this year, you'll make that 'your plan'.

Drafting a QB to sit on the bench is not what I call "smart planning" when Jerry thinks we might have a chance to get to the dance "this year". Likely we will not but, he's pulling the strings and spending his money so I'll just enjoy the journey.

Tell that to Green Bay. They only won a championship and found their quarterback of the present and future doing it, without that 5 years of failure we got to enjoy in between Aikman and Romo.

It's exactly the 'this year' thinking that keeps this team at .500, well that and an ineffective coach in training anyway.

Well from your own words and choice of teams... The Packers are who they are and who their coaching staff is...That says
a lot. Now look at the Cowboys and their coaching staff.... See any similarities - that's what I thought. Maybe Dallas better
just draft OL and build that next "steel curtain" to surround Romo and keep him safe. We might have more success.

So you advocate never drafting a quarterback based on coaching staff? Just so we can all be clear on the case you're trying to make a.

"Steel Curtain" was the term used for the defensive line for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

It was...We need one on the offensive side of the ball to keep everyone 5 yards from Romo.
That's a decent plan and could be done I think.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

You can't count on anything when you roll the dice. You can always roll snake eyes... That's what I call taking a risk.

OK, but I am going broke playing all that bingo on Tuesday nights.

 

[CowboyStar88]

The more I listen to JJ talk the more I am just irritated that we have decided to go this route

 

[Redball Express]

It's pretty obvious this staff is just not ready to plan for post-Romo.

So it's pretty obvious QB is not at the top.

We will go after a FA vet to plug in.

Just as we always have.

Look...

in the last 5 plus years this staff couldn't get anybody to win as a backup.

We obviously don't have the staff to do that.

Kitna was the only one. And he won in spite of this staff.

So I highly doubt we want to take on a project like a rookie QB development.

We should leave that for when Garrett is replaced.

 

[Beast_from_East]

Look at all the cry babies that want a QB @#4, no matter what the Front Office says, it's like children running a muck.

I see it more as the adults trying to have a conversation about how to best fix the shortcomings of the team.

If we added Bosa, or Jack, or Ramsey to last year's team, how many more wins do we pick up during that 1-11 stretch? Maybe 1 more, 2 max?

However, if we instead put Goff or Wentz on last year's team, I think we manage to do better than that.

Not what Stephen Jones has said about the need for backup qb.

This team went 1-11, with or without Romo that points to needing a lot more help than warming the bench.

 

[Jarv]

Any time you change regimes, the QB can be a casualty. You see it on a lot of teams that have QB issues that happen to change coaches.

New coach comes in, wants his "guy".

Good point, trade down and stockpile.

 

[jnday]

I watched Wentz close in his title game and again at the Senior Bowl. He is not Luck and I don't think he has the field presence of
Mariotta from last year. I would not invest a #4 in him when you need Ramsey or Bosa in the defense. I could also make a case
for Buckner or Jack over Wentz.

There is not a case that can be made for any of these defensive players unless you are going to admit to them all having huge holes in their games. That doesn't fit the agenda though. None of those guys will be impact players in their rookie year.

Yep, let's suck and lose for a lot of years.?

Prescott said in an interview that Cowboys quarterbacks coach Wade Wilson told him the team was looking to take a quarterback.

 

[Rogerthat12]

Keep this in mind...If we flop again this year and wind up in the top 5 again, there will be at least 3 more QB's we can draft in next
year's draft. I'm for rolling the dice with Romo this year to see if number 9 comes up. I think Jerry is too!

If we take one expect it to be in the 3-4th round. Prescott would be on that short list for sure.

Maybe not but, defense is what Jerry said we need most. I think we are going defense in FA and the draft early and often in
hopes of being able to compete if (IF) Romo stays healthy this season. If Romo goes down it's over anyway.

The more I listen to JJ talk the more I am just irritated that we have decided to go this route

Get ready for a lot of irritation then.

QB - No can do, 4-5 years for Romo, not a damn debate
RB - McFadden is excellent, Dunbar was a loss, just need some middling back between the two of them
WR - Bryant is back, Williams and his Irvin work ethic is ready to bust out, get ready
S - Barry Church is losing weight and is a leader
MLB - McClain is "reliable"

About the only place you do not hear about being satisfied is the DL and CB.
